Norfolk's First Landing Park is located by Chesapeake Bay and was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. It has since continued the tradition of providing a natural haven for visitors to enjoy. One of its many recreation attractions is the availability of hiking, bicycle and guided trails that stretch out for 20 miles. The most popular section is the Bald Cypress Trail that is one mile across dunes and ponds. Bikes are only allowed on the Cape Henry trail.

Tradition and art are dramatically combined at the Chrysler Museum of Art. This is one of the country's most lauded museums, and with good reason. The facility is home to over 30,000 pieces of art that are presented over the course of 55 impressive galleries. See stunning works by everyone from Rembrandt to Lichtenstein as you stroll from exhibit to exhibit. The museum also features an impressive library, charming gift shop and excellent restaurant.

If you're looking for someplace to enjoy a drink that's a little off the beaten path, then find your way to Cogans Pizza. Although the nightlife venue is small, it is packed with a large measure of individuality. There's cutting-edge music coming out of the speakers and the crowd is most definitely eclectic, too. A great place for a glass of wine or a mixed drink, it is also a prime spot for checking out the always colorful crowd. And speaking of color, don't miss the impressive selection of local art that covers the walls.
